Here's something to bear in mind when shopping for your PS3.

While looking around alibaba.com for videogame suppliers, I found some companies selling refurbished PS3s and other consoles.

So if you think you're getting a really good deal, be careful. I strongly recommend you stick to to reputable sellers here. When someone tries to sell you a 40GB PS3 console for less than RM1.3k, think carefully.

ai brother Ben...alibaba is one crap B2B website full of scammers esp those from China...they offer super super price for all the stuff that they claim Branded and Original..

but they doesnt noe tat all those Branded goods like Sony,Nokia,and etc are controlled by the respective companies...The world factory,China is jz in charge in manufacturing certain parts of the products,the real thing will still be assemble by SONY controlled factories which had pretty much standard price all around the world.

SO,MADE IN CHINA doesnt mean it's cheaper to buy from China...

the only trick distributor does is to play around with world money currency...

Thanks Ronald. I kind of figured that out when I received quotes that cost more than retail prices here! Even the HK companies. blink.gif rclxub.gif

Malaysia PS3 80GB Only in BLACK color...while Singapore PS3 40GB have  WHITE , SILVER & BLACK.

For Singapore PS3 , i think its around RM12XX.00...For Malaysia PS3 80GB around RM1899.00 + 2 games ( Sony Style & Sony Centre ).

The Singapore PS3 80GB is around RM14XX actually. However, I strongly recommend buying the Malaysian set if you have the budget. There are a few other things that can break down with your PS3 which the local retailers cannot fix. Mine died on me a couple of weeks ago and it was a power issue. Had the "traffic light of death" situation where it went from green light to orange to red. The technicians here don't have the parts to fix it and they recommend that I send it back to Sg. And that's a major pain to do. On the other hand, if it's the usual lens problem then that's fixable. So think carefully before you buy.

i planing to get PS3 soon, but i wonder why they have 40GB, 80GB & now  i hear Alex say got new package with 160GB, as i know the HDD is for storage movie, mp3, photo & demo game, but if i purely just buy PS3 for game only, the 80GB & 160GB serve no purpose, then what for we stiil need to pay expensive price for it? just get the lowest capacity set will do?

or is there 40GB version inside feature different with 80GB or 160GB version?

To my knowledge, the 160gb is a limited edition set and official release is in Sg, not in Malaysia. So if you're not bothered about hard disk space, go for the 80gb Malaysian set for the warranty.
